I certainly agree. At the least there ought to be a not only a much higher MINIMUM wage,but also a MAXIMUM (from all sources of income) with the option for the currently wealthy either to be taxed at 100% over a certain amount or donated to legitimate organizations and charities, e.g. a GENUINE public broadcasting news system that is not…

Yes,we need to find away--not that hard to do--to separate money from political power.
I've been an anti-imperialist since 1966. Republicans are now learning what we radical activists learned in the sixties about betrayals of government. I gather that you may be of that vintage too, or close to it?
1. "The wheel's still in spin and there's no telliin' who that it's namin' for the first one now will later be last; for the times they are a changin'
2. "And I'll stand on your grave till I know that you're dead,
3. "Not even Jesus could forgive what you do."
4. "We'''ll shout from the bow your days are numbered, and like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide and like Goliath, they'll be conquered."
The dialectical process is hard at work, meaning the internal contradictions will force a resolution, and we are witnessing a brittle system--hard but fragile.
Oh, so fragile, which is a good thing, because it needs to be broken...
And replaced.
And to think, when I was a young 'un I thought how lucky I was to be an American... Now I feel ashamed that We the People have let our country go so FAR down the road of Evil... smdh
Thanks, my friend, I know a hard rain's gonna fall, and hopefully it will wash the Evil out of our leadership... We have a lot of work to do.
Well, that rascal is pretty clever. I'll look up the song... getting off for tonight, mine eyes are shriveling... Nice chattin' with you, I subscribed to your page. ^_^

You are One of My Kind. ^_^
You know not so long ago, the wealthy were taxed at 92% !!!! Of course, it's pretty likely they had loopholes, but still...
Wealth caps sound good to me.

I've been anti-imperialist since as long as I can remember! Born in '60, tho. Anyway, PRE-CELL PHONE!
Sigh.
I'm down for a Whole New Thing. How many hundreds, thousands of years have we been under the thumbs of tyrants?? ENOUGH.
Lots of relevant early Dylan on this:

Yup, but the hard rain refers to radiation after you know what . . .
If you haven't heard Dylan's "The Hour that the Ship Comes in,' search for that online.
Oh, I get it now! lol
